one way or the other. We understand
Col. Latson claims that he has waited
quite long enough to allow our people to
decide as to what they will do. He can

the case. There has been too much in

have been done q month ago, as W, II as

in the matter. Other points, above

Latson has offered the first chance to u,
and waited patiently, not because he
thinks more of US than of other COM
munities, but because Bryan is regarded
as the most desirable point from which to
build the road. But if we avail ourselves
of this opportunity, we must do it al
once. Without al additional road, with
what is and will be her surroundings,
Bryan has seen her best lays. Everyone
who thinks on this subject must recOg-

the best possible thing for Bryan is road

every one will do his duty. But not with

cause failure. Will they do it? 1t will
be sad days work for Bryan and for
themselves when they do it. To secure
this road every man must do his whole

THE RATES ON FRUIT.

They are Dlsproportlonately High. rs
Compared with those on Vegetables
and Groceries.
As this is the time OF year when
storekeepers, boarding house and ho-
tel keepers, and heads of families in
general lay in their winter supplies,
the cost of fruit Is the subject Of great
solicitude at present. The rate from
Portland, which has heretofore been
. cents per pound on small lots, and
1t cents on car load lots, is this year
3 Is on small, and 16O on car load
lots-sn increase of fully 20 per cent.
This is entirely out of proportion with
the rate on vegetables, which is only
lis to Helena and Butte, via Poca-
tello--several hundred miles further
and which is usually the same as
on fruit.
At the present rates fruit will cost
nearly five cents per pound, laid down
here, and the dealers cannot, owing
to the perishable nature Of the goods,
be expected to retail it for less than
y cents. The price will thus be fully
double what it was last year, and as
it is much higher than people can
afford to pay, the consequence mus,
be comparatively heavy loss of bust
ness to the railway company and the
dealers.
Inasmuch as, since the passage o.
the Inter State commerce law, the
rates on groceries have been reduced
from 81 SIS to 81, according to the
class, to $1.1O to S3.l3--nearly sc
per cent, and the rates on Other
classes of freights have also been re-
duced, while those on fruit have beer
increased, this must be duo to AZ
oversight.
The TIMES therefore suggests tba
The shippers and station agents bring
the matter to Mr.. Potter's attention
at once, that the rates be fixed NOR,

heard suspicious cackling of his
hens, last night. Hastily jumping
out Of bed, he put on his trousers and
boots, and ran to his hen house Just
in time to catch man making away
with a turkey. Grabbing him by the
throat he dragged him to the house,
where Mr.. Egert put on his coat and
vest, and then, taking a cooked revol,
yer in his hand, he marched the thief
TO the county Jail and had him locked
up. The District Attorney will look
into the case next Monday.

AN AZTEC ~sEPuLoHeR.
Some Recent Discoveries in .AriEonA-A
Giants Remains-A Group.

Giants Remains-A Group.
Not long ago there were some strange
discoveries in the land of the cave dwell
ers, not far from the ella river, in the
Sierra Madre range, in Arizona. The
place of sepultIre was securely sealed
with cement, and was difficult TO pene-
trate. Great excitement was caused by
the discovery among the Indians of the
neighbOrhOOd, who, believing that the
mummies were the mortal remains of
some ancient deities, would fain have
prevented their removal. The strange
treasure trove was taken away only after
several skirmishes.
Who were theyT That is a question
that will probably never be answered.
What were they2 This question is an
swered in the care taken for the preser-
walton of their bodies, and the skill with
which form and feature were preserved
to last for ages. They were evidently
people of rank among a people of won
derful character.
One of them must have been almost a
giant in life. The hair still adheres to
his scalp, while the c%artilages of the nose
and ears are 30 nearly perfect that only a
close inspection reveals their imperfec-
tons. The eyebrows are still distinct
and well defined, while between the COM
pressed lips h cork lille tongue INC glis-
tening teeth are plainly visible. The flesh
on the bones is, of course, considerably
shrunken, but the muscles stand out in bold
relief, and h features still preserve the
unmistakable characteristics of ancient
Aztec p~hysiognomy, which is, indeed,
strongly marked in all the bodies in the
collection. In size and stature and in
general appearance they strictly CORE
spond with the descriptions given by an
tiquarians of the prehistoric Aztec race.
Then there is a remarkably interesting
group-a mother and female child, the
latter apparently about 4 years old. They
were wrapped in one shroud. The deli
cate lineaments of the mothers face are
clearly distinguishable, while the perfect
preservation of the child cannot but be q
mystery TO scientists.
Still another of the bodies is that of a
woman who may have been an Aztec
belle. She wa young, and her silky,
flowing hair is in a perfect state of pres
ervation. Her small, delicate hands and
feet, with her long, fine nails, lead one to
believe that she must nave been one of
the aristocracy of that ancient common
wealth. The beautiful coloring of her
shroud, remnants of which are still visi-
bic, show that her contemporaries were
by no means ignorant of the arts of dye
ing and weaving. Close beside her, and
wrapped in a shroud of similar texture
and color, were found the remains of a
stalwart man, who might have been, for
aught we know, her husband, father or
lover.-Inter Ocean.

A Chinese man servant has taught the
Harlemites how to get out all the noise
and fun there is in the firecracker. He
doesn't put a pack into a barrel and fire
them; nor does he light the fuse and
drop the pack upon the sidewalk. But
he takes a box of them and ties the forty
two packs together in one long line, tan
dem style. Next he fastens one end of the
string to a bamboo pole, which he pro-
1ects from a second story window and
secures to the sill. Then he descends to
the sidewalk and lights the stem. Then
the cracking noise and spatter of fire
from the long red snake begins. And it
continues and continues. 1t isn't over in
a second, but keeps right on, and On, and
on, until the end of the pole is reached,
when the grand finale is the explosion of
a pack of annon crackers, that tells the
delightful spectators and auditors that
the Celestial empire sends greeting to the
grand republic. New York Times.

II like to see newspaper men," she be-

very much better Let me tell you one

''you may say that 1 am a beauty or not,

How would you compare the French
and American women in the matter of
dress2"
81 think that the French ladies dress
much more quietly in the street thar we
do, and perhaps in better taste; but at re-
ceptions, balls, ETC., there is very little diff
ference. You know we resemble the
French much more than we do the Eng
ligh. However, ever the English women
are learning to dress themselves more
tastefully, at least in the evening. They
are beginning to make their artificial
adoTnment more worthy of hat which
nature has given them so bountifully.-

An important fact to be rememberec
in making portraits at close quarters is
hat the professional photographer uses
for portraits n special portrait lens, but
the amateur generally does this work
with a lens made for taking views. These
view lenses condense very much-that is,
they exaggerate the perspective by taking
in so wide a field.
Sometimes in taking a simple profile,
If the head is placed too near the camera
the visible ear of the sitter, not having a
chance to get so far off as the nose
which has, let us say, two and a half
inches of an Advantages given an
alarming size. Then, in a full face view,
the poor nose has the worst of it. On
this account a 'three-quarter'' view Is
the best for an amateur working with a
view camera; though if a fair distance is
allowed between the sitter and the lens
there need be no difficulty of either sort.
Do not hesitate to make experiments.
Many of the advances in photography
have resulted from the seeming blunders
of amateurs. To those who at college or
at home are engaged in scientific studies
the camera viii afford a means of inter
estIng experiment. The camera has been
one of the greatest teachers of this CEN
fury. 1t has, for instance, taught Meis-
sonier, the great French painter, that the
horses in his 1907 are not ~galloping as
horses actually do gallop. 1t has taught
the scientist who photographed a flying
bullet that the reason the best of marks
men cannot hit a suspended egg shell is
that "a cushion of compressed air precedes
the bullet and pushes the shell out of the
way. And in a thousand other ways it
has been confirming or upsetting scientific
and artistic theories. Let the amateur
therefore pursue his Investigations freely
in this field of experiment. and see what
discoveries he may make therein. ST.
Nicholas
